This comic was made before the release of Mega Man Powered Up. In that game Guts Man came off as obsessed with his foreman's job, but not quite as dumb as generally believed. I could have rewritten this particular story to accommodate that, but I liked it this way, so I kept it. We'll just say that he took a massive blow to the head the last time he was defeated (I guess in Mega Man 2: the Power Fighters), and Dr. Wily hasn't got around to fixing him.
